This research on university and university students was carried out during the 1980s at the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland. It is argued that the student years no longer constitute a ‘classically’ academic life stage; instead, the modem student's life is divided between study and part‐time employment. The uncertain economic situation and social immaturity of today's students hampers their identity formation. Student culture has lost its independence and vitality, and the basic structures of students’ life‐world have fragmented so that their lives no longer revolve around the university. Moreover, curricularization in universities has instrumentalized the study process and the relation of students to the institution itself, and various discipline‐based subcultures have started to divide students with increasing sharpness.
